Olive wood for calls?
« on: May 12, 2009, 09:02:00 PM »
I was wondering if any one has used wood from Olive trees for any of there calls I have a lot of Olive groves not to far from me wanted to know if it would be worth the drive to try to get some? Is it a hard wood?

Thanks Braz for the reply
Are there any photos posted here of call made from it? I thought I saw one some where maybe another site the wood is kind of a greenish yellow color right? I saw a small 3/4 blank at local hardwoods supplier the other day can't remember the name of where it was from maybe Italian olive?
